wiki
(pronounced: wick-ee)
A "wiki" is a type of Web site that allows users to easily add, remove, or edit content. The idea is that this kind of "open editing" allows for easy interaction between users and/or groups and is effective in collaborative authoring.
In the industry, "wiki" is said to be "the simplest online database that could possibly work." It is a server software and its main advantages are ease-of-use, global access, and low cost. Like blogging, it allows anyone the ability to publish their writing directly on the Web, however, this kind of free expression comes with a caveat: DBEYR. The term wiki originates from the Hawaiian word for "quick."
